For something a little longer than these articles, but shorter than the typical book, you can order The Quaker Way from QuakerBooks of FGC. This 70-page booklet was developed for children of middle school age, but has been almost as popular with their parents as a simple explanation of Quaker beliefs, values, and practices.

Finally, you can check out any of the other publications on our list of recommended readings for people learning about Quakers.
